Post Tension Tendon Repair
Precision repair for stressed-tendon structures.
Post-tensioned concrete is a method of construction that uses multiple strands of stressed steel tendons (or cables) placed throughout a concrete slab for reinforcement.
Tendons can require repair when they're damaged by corrosion or accidental breakage. CDC Restoration LC & Construction specializes in the repair and replacement of post-tension tendons, as well as modifications for repurposing post-tensioned areas.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a post-tension tendon has failed?
Common signs are cracking or blowouts around anchors, rust staining, and audible pops. We can locate broken or corroded tendons and assess whether they can be repaired or need replacement.
Can you replace a tendon without demolishing the whole slab?
Usually yes. We perform selective, localized repair — de-tensioning, replacing or splicing the tendon, and re-stressing — often using robotic demolition to protect adjacent live tendons.
Do you do external post-tension strengthening?
Yes — external post-tension upgrades and modifications are one of the ways we strengthen or repurpose existing slabs and structures.
Is this safe to perform in an occupied building?
With proper shoring, de-tensioning procedures, and a trained crew, post-tension repair is routinely done in occupied structures. Safety planning is part of every job.
Have a concrete problem worth solving?
From emergency structural repair to full containment retrofits, our crews self-perform the work and stand behind it. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll schedule a free on-site condition survey.
